Challenges
With over 4000 staff nationwide, a strong team of advisors who work face-to-face, by phone and hot desk, their employees are at the heart of what they do. With such a large work force sporadically spaced out, they were focusing on a big transformation project. Having acquired Office 365, Towergate were looking for a platform that could take advantage of the cloud based services.
Internal communications and information that was previously available was extremely outdated and not very engaging. The business wanted a complete refresh of their content and to start from the beginning again. One of their key objectives was to focus on improving internal communications across the business by creating compelling content that was targeted based on either location or job role and therefore relevant based on the user’s profile.
They were looking for a platform that offered a clean slate, would promote the company brand and offer a personalised experience, something that their old intranet lacked.
The Fresh solution
Implementing collaboration and communication tools can seem like an overwhelming challenge with so many competing user, team and unit demands adding complication to an already bamboozling range of options, features and requirements. In order to provide Towergate with a customisable communication platform where users can collaborate across the business, Content and Code implemented Fresh, built for SharePoint online
“With their vast experience Content and Code have been able to package up all the best bits that make an intranet successful, so we can use the power of SharePoint and the core tools available in Office 365.”
